Bright Blessings Delivery Team

Bright Blessings is an organization that seeks to bring joy, recognition, and support to children and families during difficult and sad times during their lives. They provide gifts and party supplies for birthdays and baby supplies for mothers with young babies.

One of our own members, Terri Springer, is employed by Bright Blessings and as Terri and I have talked over the last few months, we have looked for ways for our Be The Gift ministry to be of service to Bright Blessings. A few weeks ago, Terri invited us to form delivery teams who would come to Bright Blessings on Wednesday mornings, pick up the packages to be delivered that week and then drive a pre-determined route to deliver the packages to the schools where parties were to be held. And so a call for volunteers went out!

Each delivery team consists of two to four people who are willing to dedicate three to four hours on Wednesday morning. Our first team was formed by Beth Edging, Robert Edging, Brian Suber, and Elizabeth Stewart, and the first deliveries were made on Wednesday, October 5, 2011. Beth and Robert had never met Brian or Elizabeth, so the four had great fun getting to know one another as they worked together. 

Hmmm…fellowship and service combined. What a concept!

Here are some pictures from the start of their day as the packages were picked up at Bright Blessings and loaded on the church van for delivery. 

We would love to form a second team so that the teams could alternate weeks. If you are interested in helping out with this project and are available on Wednesday mornings beginning at 8:45, please contact me at hbarrett@prcoc.org.
